The United States has had 46 Presidents since its founding. In this class, we explore the lives of the first 15 Presidents. Looking to the challenges they faced and their lives leading up to becoming the leader of the United States of America. We will also explore the office of the Presidency, how it has changed and grown. Classes will involve lectures, active discussion using the Socratic method in order to foster critical thinking. I will use slides and games, as well as providing hypothetical scenarios in order to foster and encourage discussion. Class topics will be as follows: Week 1: What is the Presidency? George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson Week 2: James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams Andrew Jackson Week 3: Martin Van Buren William Henry Harrison John Tyler James Polk Week 4: Zachary Taylor Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan

Parental Guidance
This class may deal with issues such as slavery, discrimination, and injustice. Students will be expected and required to respect different views and experiences. To this end, we will look at history from varying perspectives, with a focus on objective and provable facts. The class will focus on multiple perspectives. Since this is primarily a history class there will be references to historical documents and articles from a variety of sources to include, but not limited to, reference materials from services such as Westlaw and Lexis/Nexis and the National Archives.
